Conspiracy protections (conspiracy) Quack Quack Buried with the dead ‘Round the Grassy Knoll (Duck solo)

(Instrumental) Some folks like Boston Beans Pyramids of power And some like Black-eyed peas Thirteen levels high Sometimes you in way over your head Sealed within the tower’s Sometimes you on your knees Illuminating eye Sometimes your life is outta sight Can you feel the knowing Sometimes you outta luck Growing in your heart Nobody knows… like Chappaquidick Duck Did it really end then Don’t want no radiation glowin’ in the air Or was it just the start Don’t want no inflation blowin’ everywhere ‘Round the Grassy Knoll All he wants a cozy nest – A little daily bread Well the smoke swirls Don’t want no shot guns ‘round the Grassy Knoll Blowin’ off his head While the mystery Echoes in my head Nobody knows… like Chappaquidick Duck Did you hear the shot That took away his soul Can you dream the dream 19. Waltzin’ You thought you’d left for dead Hey baby don’t think I’m a fool ‘Round the Grassy Knoll I’m really not losin’ my cool However I really dig three quarter time 18. Chappaquidick Duck I love it and that is the reason that I’m Went out ridin’ Really wheelin' and feelin' With Mary Jo the ceiling and walls 'neath my feet The road was windin’ ‘Cause waltzin’ is funky but neat The fog was hangin’ low You never know I remember the first time I heard Exactly where you are A waltz and it was the last word All I remember is Whirlin' and twirlin' a rhythmic joy I went a bridge too far That soon made a dancer of this little boy I just seemed to fly through the sky Nobody know like a child on a swing Nobody know When you’re waltzin’ it all feels like spring

Hey who’s that hidin’ Waltzin’s like walkin’ on air Down by the river side But the people don’t care Water’s drippin’ off his back They think that waltzin’ is square His eyes is open wide So they march down the street to the beat but they don’t Hey who’s that hidin’ feel a thing Slidin’ through the muck Try waltzin and feel yourself swing I do believe… it’s Chappaquidick Duck So baby just let yourself move Nobody knows… like Chappaquidick Duck Makin’ time in a three quarter groove Quack Quack They do it in England, they do it in France Pretend it’s a mantra, go into a trance Now Chappaquidick Duck And feel yourself fly through the sky He don’t know how to vote like a bird on the wing He ride through muddy water When you're waltzin' it's always your thing Tryin’ to stay afloat Don’t got no stereo Waltzin’s like walkin’ on air He don’t got no TV But the people don’t care He only know They think that waltzin’ is square Exactly what he see So they march down the street to the beat but they don’t feel a thing Nobody knows… like Chappaquidick Duck Try waltzin and feel yourself swing Lyrics: Can’t Sing. Don’t Care. Songs from the hip. Bruce Bendinger • Page 8 of 8

So baby let's go steppin' out Now you know what it's all about It beats cotton candy and chocolate malts Let's go to the disco and ask for a waltz 'Cause all of that Straussin' carousin' has just made me flip Yeah waltzin’ is really quite hip
